    Let's help you start maximizing the amount of income that your salon is making you. By implementing station sharing you can utilize your space to its full potential. You're able to hire far more stylists than chairs that you have available in your salon because instead of focusing on getting stylists busy you're focusing on getting your chairs busy. The best way to create freedom for your stylists is by offering them the freedom to choose their schedule while taking care of your end as a business owner and hiring enough people to fill the chairs. This creates a fluid culture of people coming and going as they please offering the freedom of suite rental, but the safety of a commision salon. This is the new age of hairdressing.

    This episode is all about hourly pricing and the most common questions that I get from hairdressers before they make the switch into hourly pricing. It's a philosophy and mindset change with pricing. We are taking responsibility over what our time is worth and how we want the client interactions to look like. If you have more questions head over to www.destroythehairdresser.com/ethan to start coaching and to transform your business today. If you're trying to figure out what you want your hourly pricing to be based on the amount of money that you want to make in a year. Here it is...! Ideal Income (divided by) Amount of weeks you work (divided by) Amount of days you want to work (divided by) the amount of hours you want to work a day (times) 2 IE. $100,000 / 48 weeks = 2,083.33 / week $2,083 Week / 4 Days a week = 520.83 / day $520.83 Day / 7 Hours = $74.40 / hr $74.40 x 2 (expenses, taxes, rent, etc) = $148.80 This is your formula play around with the amount of money, weeks, days, or hours and see what it is that you need to do for your business to have a more reliable income.

    Let's find a way to modernize how we train new stylists in the industry. I believe that we need to take a look at how we bring new people into the industry and what will be beneficial to them and what will keep them more fulfilled and in the industry for longer. We see the turnover rate for new stylists leaving the industry is insanely high! I think that the way that we introduce new stylists to the industry is way too focused on "What we did" as opposed to what it is that the new stylists need to do to stay inspired, to keep learning, to stay engaged, and to earn that feeling of fulfillment. We need to focus less on what we need other people to do for us as leaders and focus on how we can show up for the people in our businesses so that they can create fulfillment for themselves.

    Are you afraid of hiring new stylists? Are you afraid of the cost? or perhaps you are afraid of what that might look like for you and your salon? Have you always wanted to and never known where to start? I would start by identifying what your stylists look like. We need to find a way to level the playing field between our stylists that are working behind the chair and the stylists that are coming into the industry. They don't have to sit and suffer for 12 months while you find ways to fill in that time because your apprentice program was 12 months.

    Creating something new is never perfect. I spent countless hours structuring what I thought was the perfect apprenticeship program. Turns out it wasn't at all it lacked one big thing. Consciousness, the thing that I created was all based around the fear of what if? And I turned it into the program that I went through because it was the only thing that I knew. I'm here to tell you that things can be different. There are different ways and you don't have to take responsibility for the success or failure of people, but you do have to take responsibility for giving them the tools that they need to help themselves and be successful learners. Stop giving shovels to people that are trying to clean their windows. We continue to give our stylists the wrong tools because that's what we were given as young hairstylists. We need to arm them, with the tools they need to be successful in the things that they want to be successful in. Our vision for them doesn't matter, their fulfillment will only come from themselves and that comes from building relationships and understanding what that fulfillment looks like to that stylist. Let's help people reach their full potential in a new expansive way that will feel uncomfortable. Ready for 1:1 Coaching? Use the link here to sign up www.destroythehairdresser.com/ethan
